Abstract (en)

A method for manufacturing integrated circuit devices, optical devices, micromachines and mechanical precision devices, the said method comprising the steps of (1) providing a substrate having patterned material layers having line-space dimensions of 50 nm and less and aspect ratios of >2; (2) providing the surface of the patterned material layers with a positive or a negative electrical charge by contacting the substrate at least once with an aqueous, fluorine-free solution S containing at least one fluorine-free cationic surfactant A having at least one cationic or potentially cationic group, at least one fluorine-free anionic surfactant A having at least one anionic or potentially anionic group, or at least one fluorine-free amphoteric surfactant A; and (3) removing the aqueous, fluorine-free solution S from the contact with the substrate.
